I believe it is the QantasLink pilot groups that have to get together first. (NJS are not involved) As said previously, until they do they will continue to be their own worst enemy.
Up until now the AFAP has not shown any leadership whatsoever in this mess. What's more neither have any of the pilot groups - many individuals are in it for themselves and not the greater good of the whole group. About time the blinkers were taken off.
